A surface electromyography biosensing system that is based on a screen-printed, conformal electrode array and has in-sensor adaptive learning capabilities can classify human gestures in real time and with high accuracy.
Few-layer molybdenum ditelluride and tungsten diselenide field-effect transistors can be reversibly doped with different carrier types and concentrations using pulses of ultraviolet and visible light, allowing reconfigurable complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor circuits to be created.
The integration of active electronic systems and meta-elements using commercial silicon fabrication techniques can be used to create scalable and dynamically programmable terahertz metasurfaces.
Commercial complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor and resistive random-access memory technologies can be used to create multibit compute-in-memory circuits capable of fast and energy-efficient inference for use in small artificial intelligence edge devices.
Isolated point defects in silicon that emit light at telecom wavelengths could help accelerate the development of quantum information technologies using commercial platforms.
Transistors that use two-dimensional black phosphorus as the active material can dynamically switch between p-type and n-type operation, and can be used to create security primitive circuits with polymorphic NAND/NOR obfuscation functionality.
A spin–orbit ferromagnetic single layer of (Ga,Mn)As can have a magnetization switching current density as low as 4.6 × 104 A cm−2 by suppressing the field-like torque via control of the current direction and film thickness.
Electrical and short optical pulses can be used to deterministically induce and reverse a nano-fragmented domain state in antiferromagnetic CuMnAs, in a process that can be probed via changes in the resistance of the system.
The magnetization and exchange bias field in an IrMn/CoFeB bilayer can be independently switched using a current-controlled spin–orbit torque generated in the antiferromagnetic IrMn layer.
Carbon-related point defects can be isolated in a commercial silicon-on-insulator wafer, acting as artificial atoms that provide efficient polarized single-photon emission at wavelengths suitable for long-distance propagation in optical fibres.
Using a gate decomposition strategy that requires the calibration of a single pulse, a family of XY entangling gates can be implemented in a superconducting qubit architecture and used to reduce circuit depth for generic quantum algorithms.
